Two New York Knicks, Carmelo Anthony (gold) and Willy Hernangomez (bronze) walked away Sunday with Olympic medals. How did their teammates back home respond?
Kristaps Porzingis paid tribute to both his NBA mentor and his good buddy from his Sevilla days:
Congrats to my teammates @carmeloanthony and @willyhg94 for getting those medals #Rio2016

New Knick Brandon Jennings made sure to pay homage to Melo:
Congrats @carmeloanthony

Let nobody tell you that non-guaranteed training camp invitee Ron Baker isn’t a cagey competitor; he’s already sucking up to dad!
Congrats on @carmeloanthony

No congratulatory tweet as of yet from fellow non-guaranteed rookie Chasson Randle. You’re falling behind, bruh. Even Marshall Plumlee, he of the guaranteed contract, still managed to retweet this:
Putting that Duke degree to use, I see.
As for Willy, he seems pretty happy, as he should. He did his country proud:
Por fin la tenemos! Sensación increíble! Muchas gracias! #bronce #olympics #españa pic.twitter.com/TEBFezwiVv
